Riverland is dear to my heart, as I grew up in this neighborhood. Known by some as the "Coconut Grove of Fort Lauderdale," Riverland is one of the most unique areas you'll find in Broward County. Just 10 minutes from downtown and the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, Riverland has a country feel to it, with an abundance of trees lining it's streets. It really is a hidden gem, as many people don't even know this area exists and are quite surprised when they discover it.

Riverland is not one of those "cookie-cutter" neighborhoods, as you'll see anything from houses situated on an acre or more - to waterfront homes on ocean access canals - to small, quaint little starter homes. Houses in this area range anywhere from the mid $200's to over $2M.

The Lauderdale Isles Yacht Club is located in the area, which offers fun activities such as tennis clinics, paint nights, a farmers market, cars & coffee, and has amenities such as a swimming pool, full liquor bar, outdoor grill, tennis courts and billiards. The clubhouse and grounds are available for rent to members and non-members for weddings & parties.

Parks in the neighborhood include Riverland Woods with a boat ramp, so you can set off for a fun day on the New River. The New River leads to the Intracoastal Waterway and out to the ocean. Dogs are allowed on leash here and there's a nice little sidewalk and playground nestled under the trees.

People's Civic Park has a pavillion and playground, and we're looking forward to a new park coming soon. Along the big bend where Riverland Road turns from East-West to North-South, lies a beautiful 5 acre parcel of land with an old Florida ranch style home. The home was put up for sale for $2.2 Million and was almost purchased by a developer who wanted to build 13 homes on the property. These 5 acres are home to 200 year old live oak trees, protected owls, birds and other native species. Neighbors got together and formed the Riverland Preservation Society, with the goal of maintaining and preserving the area for generations to come. They went to Commissioner meetings and over the course of a couple years, managed to convince the city of Fort Lauderdale to purchase the land for a green park.

Twisted Hat Creations created this short film to bring awareness to this beautiful property in Riverland.

Other communities that make up the Riverland area include Lauderdale Isles, River Lands, River Landings, Riverland Manors, Riverland Village, Fairfax, Flamingo Park, New River Groves, Riverland Homesites, Oak River and a few other small neighborhoods. If you're looking for a great neighborhood that's close to the city - yet has the charm of living in the country, you might want to check out this area!
